Have you ever previously witnessed someone get so worked up over a grain of salt?
Maybe he's a good fisherman?

A grain of salt is something that would spoil an otherwise perfectly sweet situation.
Somebody's never eaten a chocolate covered pretzel. Or anything with salted caramel. Salty + Sweet = GOAD (greatest of all desserts)

You thought wrong. It implies that GOOD news should be viewed with a heightened level of skepticism.
False.

The thing that bothered me about his tizzy is the apparent pre-occupation with soft penises.
Most disturbing.
Now having said that, please do not address me again you trashy intellectual poseur.

From Wikipedia so it has to be true.
quote:
ories of the phrase's origin include Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, regarding the discovery of a recipe for an antidote to a poison.[2] In the antidote, one of the ingredients was a grain of salt. Threats involving the poison were thus to be taken "with a grain of salt", and therefore less seriously.

Salt keeps things from rotting- it is a preservative.

I always thought, "take that with a grain of salt" implied that the news should be viewed with a heightened level of skepticism or that the source of information may be somewhat biased or untrustworthy.
I think YOU are the one using it incorrectly.

"Pouring salt on a wound" is not a metaphor; it's an idiom.
The two are not mutually exclusive, as in this case.

Discuss.
ones PANCREAS can only process 3tsp of sugar per day, and pure sugar, strips minerals from the body in order to digest it!
salt is a single mineral among valuable minerals not present in dog food and not in people food either, that's why both humans and dogs get similar diseases, lack of minerals, not just salt.
farm animals, who get mineral blocks to lick, get no people diseases
